MLCGreat boots though not for wide feetAttractive and generally comfortable boots. Good non slip insulating soles and they didn’t need any ‘wearing in’. Also good that they use only plant based and man made materials though I am aware it’s difficult (for most manufacturers) to guarantee glues are plant based. Just one downside which is that they are a little on the narrow side and Merrill doesn’t sell its wide fitting in the UK.

GawDid not seem hardy enoughThe boot looked great, it was lightweight and fit well. However, the outer material is not particularly sturdy, and I notice that my ankle was rolling slightly inward just standing still. I don’t think they would offer much protection if I did actually roll my ankle! I would imagine any lengthy walk would Enunciate the fact they are not too supportive.

JuanchoBest Hiking Boots I Ever WornI’ve been using my Capra Ventute for over a year already and it feels very comfortable all the time. I use them for hiking, work, rain and Alaska’s trips during spring (some snow around) and keeps my feet warm/cold and I don’t get fatigue at all. If mines gets broken, I’d buy them again. :)

DMooseAlmost what I need...I’m looking for a lighter hiking boot that’s still good for heavy load multi day trips. This is the closest I’ve had to right...but! As some one else said, the toe box is very narrow. I’m a 15, so shoes are hard for me, and I appreciate that a 15W would be a low volume seller for a company so they aren’t too excited to offer that size. But hiking boots need to be right, so I’d like to see wides offered. Anyway, I’ve used and loved these despite the tight toe- I’ve tuned that out! Sadly the Goretex failed after a few months, so back to the drawing board.
